Required Watching

Built For Filmmakers and Cinephiles

A curated lens on cinema’s essentials — for filmmakers, critics, and the creatively obsessed. Less noise. More signal.

The films that shape filmmakers.

That’s what we call Required Watching.

The Library

Dive into our video essays. We dissect must-watch films, underseen gems, and the techniques of master filmmakers, all through our "Blueprint, Ghost, Echo" framework.

The Blueprint.
The Ghost.
The Echo.

Every film speaks a hidden language. We teach you how to decode it. By analyzing the craft (The Blueprint), the theme (The Ghost), and the legacy (The Echo), we uncover the secrets of masterful storytelling.

Don’t just watch movies. Watch better.

Join the Required Watching newsletter for weekly breakdowns, filmmaker insights, and new essentials to add to your list.
